this area needs your help this morning. the scrappers are working the neighborhood, stealing anything they can get their hands on. the most recent call to me: ripping siding off a house on charest, a block north of carpenter. they’re doing quick & nasty damage, driving a red ford car with license plate yjk 795.
drive through the area or look around if you live there & please call either the northeastern district 313-596-1100 or 911 if they don’t take the call at the district.

I talked with Commander Suchoski last Friday, and he explained that we have to call 911 to get a response from the Detroit Police. I told him that people have been scolded by the operators when calling 911 for property crimes, but he says call 911 anyway because the dispatch center routes all cars.

I also complained about being transferred six times before being told to a leave message when calling the district office. He doesn’t know why that’s happening. I’m supposed to call him directly later this week with an update as to whether or not progress has been made towards a security fence.
